Chapter 362: High Priest

As with most cultural beliefs.

From the very beginning of their birth, the Martians set their sights on the vast and endless starry sky and regarded the stars as gods.

The sun is the supreme god, Jupiter is the god of love, and the earth is the evil god of purgatory.

Because when the Martians discovered the Earth, it was still in its 'development stage', with red-hot magma all over the planet's surface, so it is easy to misunderstand.

And the person who named it is often the religious person who presides over the faith: the priest.

The High Priest is the only person in the history of the Martian underground culture who can communicate with the Divine, and no matter how history changes, the High Priest and the clergy will always be the 'unkillable'.

'Thou shalt not be killed' means:

No one is allowed to interfere with the lives of the clergy!

If they are at fault, then it is only God who will punish them, so they only die of old age and sickness, but no one has ever killed them because of the outbreak of war.

It is precisely because of this special law that the Martian religion has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and people and culture have not been extinct.

In ancient times on Mars, priests were only used to sacrifice and pray to the stars.

After entering the 'Geocentric Century', priests not only served as priestly activities, but also served as important tasks such as the dissemination of knowledge and culture.

With the arrival of modern Martian culture, the Martian religion slowly transformed into a job duty: to maintain social order in the country and assist the king in diplomacy with other countries.

The direct descendants of the priests, hereditary ancestral positions, and learn the knowledge necessary to ensure that the culture is passed on.

So the descendants of every clergyman. Education is required from birth until death.

They are born to be an empty 'library' whose duty is to fill it with knowledge.

……

As the times continued to evolve, the Martian religious institutions began to be detailed and concrete.

There are funeral priests who die, exorcist priests who are sick, cultural priests who spread education, priests of ceremonial music, and so on......

It is not the king who rules over these people, nor is it the god they believe in. but His Excellency the High Priest.

There was no requirement for gender and age for the high priest. The only condition for judging whether or not he or she has the high priest is 'mana'.

The so-called 'mana', in terms of the current earth, is spiritual power, brain waves, and life magnetic fields.

Other words. The High Priest must be a Brain Domain Developer. And you have to reach more than 20% to be eligible.

In the process of continuous learning and exploration of life by the clergy. Their brain cells and bodies are in a slow evolutionary phase, with billions of years of genetic accumulation enough for them to develop their brains.

Plus the priest is 'the one who cannot be killed'. Perfectly preserved this gene to this day.

In the Martian civilization, only the priests are considered to be the true rulers from ancient times to the present day, pure blood, and everyone else has changed from generation to generation.

Priests are like the higher people in human society today, and when each priest is born, the brain domain development is much higher than that of others.

The current high priest of the Kingdom of Casal is a young lady.

She was born with a brain domain development of up to 27%, and after gaining the knowledge of the previous generation of priests, the brain domain is now close to 40%.

It has five abilities: 'Mind Control', 'Changing Cell Morphology', 'Control Objects', 'Super Memory', and 'Flying'!

He is the most powerful high priestess of the underground Martian world.

However, the brains of Martians are smaller than those of earthlings, who have about 12 billion brain cells, while Martians' brain cells are about 90-10 billion.

40% of the brain domain development of the high priest of Casal is about 33% of the earth, which is 5 hundred points higher than Yang Ye.

……

Royal Palace of Casal.

Summoned by His Majesty, the High Priest, Miss Portata, led 16 white-clothed retinues into the main hall with the White Rock Staff in hand.

The White Rock Staff in her hand was a rock crystal in the Martian mantle, as hard as a diamond.

The magnetic field in the rock is very strong, which can strengthen people's brain waves, which is equivalent to a kind of 'spiritual power magnifying glass', similar to the mineral elements of Yang Ye's 'Ziming Sword, Chiming Sword'.

I saw that the high priest of Portatta was wearing a set of white sacrificial dresses, with black hair, blue eyes, smooth melon seed face like spar carving, and a powerful life magnetic field exuding from his whole body.

Judging by her appearance alone, no earthling would consider her to be a Martian.

"陛xià."

"Your Excellency the Priest."

The most powerful men of the two empires took their seats after saluting each other, and the other courtiers and nobles began to salute.

After the ceremony, the king ordered the head of Prospector 1 to be sent for the High Priest to see.

"Portata, this is the iron man that my courtier Orin killed in the upper reaches of the Kasar River, Orin said: The iron man came from the ground sitting on an iron worm, please look at it."

"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest." Orin said respectfully.

"The earthly world?"

Portalta raised her left index finger slightly, and the head of the man flew in front of her from the waiter's tray.

Portata stared for a moment with eyes that seemed to see the world, and then suddenly his hands opened, and the mechanical head scattered into pieces......

Camera, CPU, integrated board, micro memory......

These electronic accessories, which represent the latest technology of human beings, are displayed in front of everyone one by one......

Portata used his psychic powers to probe every piece of metal, but found nothing.

Just when her spiritual power was magnified to the highest, she suddenly saw a pair of extremely cold and intelligent eyes!

These eyes were all too familiar to her......

Since 1 year ago, she has often sensed these eyes peeking at her from the earthly world, caressing her flesh, but she knows that it is not a god......

Bang!

Wow!

The parts were scattered all over the place, bursting with a screeching sound.

Portata sat back in his seat with a shocked face!

Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience became nervous, and the king shouted loudly: "Come on, burn this demon!" ”

"No, Banord."

Portata held his right hand to his heart and said, "We're going to keep it." Then learn how to make it in anticipation of the coming apocalypse. ”

"Doomsday?"

"Oh God!"

"What Your Excellency the High Priest of Doom? Will the demons of the earth come against us? ”

"Are they the iron bugs?"

After hearing this, everyone asked nervously.

"No, it's not these, but it's several times more terrifying than these, I don't see it yet."

Portata calmed down for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the 'black' eyes I told you?" I saw him on this steel, and here he comes! ”

"Now his angels walk on the earth......

"What does he want?" The king asked, trembling.

"I don't know."

"He may want to talk to us," Portata shook his head, "but I feel the heat that burns a single qiē of flames, and we must get out of here and go deeper underground!" ”

"陛xià. Please send an envoy quickly. Invite the kings and priests to come, we are running out of time! ”

"When does Your Excellency the Priest think you will move? Which river should we follow? The queen asked.

Portata pondered for a moment and said, "The sooner we relocate, the better, our destination should be the Endless Sea." The ancestor 'Endless Sea God' will protect us. ”

The endless sea in her mouth is a large underground reservoir in the mantle belt. It has an area of about 600,000 nautical miles.

Legend has it that it was around 45 million years ago. The ancient kingdom founded by Casal's ancestors was buried in that area. Later, because of the anger of the underground gods, the entire royal city was flooded.

Now it's a large reservoir.

In fact, it was not the power of God, but the explosion of gunpowder. The rock layer above them exploded, and a large amount of groundwater poured down on the upper layer, destroying the Casal ancestors.

Including the giant spaceship of the Blue Star that they built at that time was also buried at the bottom of the sea, and there is enough science and technology comparable to the current earth.

"Your Excellency High Priestess, what if the Iron Demon returns?"

"The iron worms have dug a big hole, and I told the servants to plug it," Olin said. ”

"Oh?"

Portata crossed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that if those steel envoys come, we should ask them about their intentions. ”

"They must have come here from the earth to convey something to us, and we might as well listen to them, and even if we are enemies in the future, we should know something about them."

"Not bad."

The king nodded, "Orin, you are their discoverer, and you are responsible for guarding the cave, and if you find iron men and insects coming back, lead them here, and the high priest and I will ask them for their intentions." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Earth, NASA.

While these Martians are discussing 'Black Eyes' and 'Iron Armageddon', the heads of state on Earth are also debating a unified plan to deal with Martian creatures.

After two days of deliberations, the heads of state of the earth unanimously decided: first send planes to contact him, explore the underground world of Mars, and at the same time transport nuclear bombs to Mars.

If the Martian creatures are willing to communicate, they can be given a few safe zones.

If the Martian creatures can show enough goodwill, maybe they can work with them to recreate Mars and turn Mars into a beautiful blue planet again.

If they don't accept it, and show that it is very evil, then the earthlings can only choose 'humane ruin'.

Darwin said: natural selection, survival of the fittest.

The essence of the cell after it is born: it is to survive and reproduce.

Moral civilization is nothing but a product of a harmonious environment, and if the environment is not harmonious, then human beings will follow their instincts.

If two tigers are placed in the middle of the mountain, they will each occupy a hill, and if they are placed in the same territory, then one of them will die or leave, and then there will be obedience.

As the Martians guessed, the escaped Iron Bug (Drill Car) is now guarding the entrance to the cave.

Another exploration vehicle has already received instructions from Earth and will be there in 27 hours.

"Would you like Paul to come and sit at my house?"

After seeing the engineer give instructions, the director of the astronautical agency, Charles Brown. Bolden laughed.

"No, I promised 1900 to attend his family dinner."

Yang Ye patted 1900's shoulder with a smile and said.

Since Infinity Dream reached a strategic partnership with 1900 in 2016, Yang Ye has been in contact with 1900 as a friend, and every time he comes to the United States, he will go to his and Huanzi's house to sit down.
